Marine Artist
ROGER ADAMSON, MARINE ARTIST
Roger Adamson is the conscience of the global maritime & shipping industry, holding a mirror up to uncomfortable truths and exploring the tension between transformation and timelessness, trade and nature, liminality, and the threshold between old and new.
From his studio overlooking the English Channel – the busiest shipping lane in the world – and through his extensive global travel he captures the maritime environment, industry and its people balanced on the brink of epochal change.

Happy New Year folks…
May your new year be filled with Gibson’s
South Foreland Lighthouse, Dover. Spot the Spitfire!
Just arrived in the post this morning. This could get expensive! Again... #marineantiques
Disney Magic coming alongside at Dover this morning.
It’s done! After many hours of polishing the steering gear is now worthy of a place in doors. Now just 3 compass binnacles to go 🥴 @world_of_mka thanks for your help 👍
Very nearly there now. Just some finishing touches and final assembly. #marineantiques @world_of_mka
Head completed, just final polish on the pedestal tomorrow. Starting to look pretty good. Discovered my eldest daughter is a demon polisher @world_of_mka #marineantiques
Finally starting to get a finish on the pedestal. Another 3 solid days work left I reckon. Just looking at the 3 pattern 190 compass binnacles in the background that need the same treatment 😕
